In the opening game of the 2020 MLS season, Minnesota United needed a little time to settle down and grow into the game against the Portland Timbers at Providence Park. After a first half where the Loons overcame some early nerves to put up a strong fight, the second half opened with a great deal more action and a 1-1 scoreline after the first 10 or so minutes. But Minnesota would pull ahead late with two goals nearly back-to-back that Portland could not find an answer for. Luis Amarilla opened his MLS account with the go-ahead goal while Kevin Molino bagged a brace and Ethan Finlay figured in all three, ending up with two assists on the night.
